I have several older L lenses and one has always driven me nuts. It just never seemed as sharp as it should be. The lens in question is a 24-70/2.8 L ver. 1. I really want to like it, on my 20D I could make super sharp images but they were not very common and on my 7D I just do not get the number of sharp images that I expect. I do find that I use it at 2.8 often, but with the L lens I should be able to whenever I want to.
My 17-35/2.8 and 80-200/2.8 are almost always sharp the latter is amazingly sharp, sometimes I have to take some of the sharpness out in PP so as not to offend the subject. I also have a 300/4 IS that is just tack sharp. Point being, I think my methodology in taking the photos is fine.
I am in east central IL, where would a lens have to go for calibration and would they need all of my cameras to average it or is it set to some spec and returned? I have never considered going through this process before, but I really want to up the positive output from this lens. I do get to Roberts from time to time, love to drool on the gear and like to support brick and mortars. They also clean sensors while you wait, for a reasonable fee. I have never been comfortable with that process.
Thanks Matt
